I love
seeing the progression of Abinidi. In
the beginning of his ministry, he is solely speaking the words of the Lord that
were given to him. But in his eventual
defense, he speaks very little directly quoting the Lord. He expounds some scripture, but mostly he has
become someone the Lord can trust to speak the truth and so he is able to speak
for himself.
There
is a pattern here that is consistent with not only our speaking but our actions
as well. First we must turn our wills
over to the Lord. By so doing, He
teaches us until we are in the position to act for ourselves according to His
principles and be counted on to do the right thing. If the Lord desires something different, He
will let us know. But the first step
must always be hewing closely to the Lord.
